"CNN left that tweet up—they now deleted it—but the story itself is still up there. And again, whether that falls in the 'hoax' bucket or the 'out of touch' bucket, I don't know, but it's just time after time after time. And that's why you see trust in the legacy media continue to crater."
"A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted."
"Balat was seen on video shouting Allahu Akbar! and throwing a screw-filled explosive device at anti-Islam protesters in front of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's official residence. He also gave a salute to ISIS while he was shackled and being led by police on Monday."
FCC Chair Brendan Carr condemned CNN for a deleted social media post that inadequately characterized two suspected ISIS-supporting terrorists arrested for throwing explosive devices outside NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's residence. The post referred to the 18 and 19-year-old suspects as Pennsylvania teenagers whose lives were drastically changed, failing to convey the incident's severity. One suspect was recorded shouting Allahu Akbar and giving an ISIS salute while in police custody. CNN subsequently deleted the post and added an editor's note acknowledging it breached editorial standards. Carr used the incident to illustrate why public trust in mainstream media continues declining, characterizing the coverage as either hoax-like or out of touch.
